Random Internet Drops During Specific Time Period
Hey everyone, I looked around a bit and although I found quite a few similar issues, I was unable to find any exactly like the one I'm having.
Basically, every weekday, during the approximate hours of 7am-5pm, my internet will constantly drop. By this, I do not mean it completely stops working. I mean that every few seconds, or minutes, my internet will cut out for about 5 seconds. The reason that this is such a huge problem is I play online video games, and working random part-time hours quite often places me in between these hours when playing. Also, these drops take place even if I'm not on games. My computer will usually be the only one online, and no matter what I'm doing (even just doing something like reading an article online), the problem persists.
My ISP is Comcast, and my router is an ASUS RT-N56U.
Here is my system information:
I should also mention that the router is new, and the problem existed before I bought it. I believed that my old router was the problem, and clearly I am wrong. Also, my router has a WEP on it so there shouldn't be anyone leaching off of my network. These also are nowhere near peak hours, which adds even more confusion. I do live near a school, which would normally be open around these hours. However, it's summer.. so that isn't the case. Thanks in advance for any help!OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
